Mt. Vernon Corridor & Uptown Redevelopment Proiect Areas BACKGROUND Recently, we received a request for an exclusive right to negotiate for development in the area. The request is from the Arthur Pearlman Corporation. The Arthur Pearlman Corporation is currently involved in "The HUB" project at Tippecanoe Avenue and Interstate 10. The firm is an experienced retail development firm with financial resources needed for development. The proposed development would encompass the area bounded by Santa Fe Depot on the north, Interstate 215 on the east, properties fronting on 2nd Street on the south and Mt. Vernon Avenue on the west. While no plans have been created, it is anticipated that a mixed-use project combining retail, industrial and office uses would be most successful. It should be noted that the plan is expected to take advantage of the realignment of the 2nd Street freeway off ramp soon to be started by Caltrans. Execution of an Exclusive Right to Negotiate will assist the firm in negotiations with potential partners and major retail, office and industrial tenants. Although the owners of the El Tigre property have indicated interest in upgrading their site only, Agency files indicate that there have been no prior statements of interest in owner participation from area property owners or tenants. However, to avoid any future questions or issues relating to owner participation it is recommended that existing property owners and tenants in the area be noticed regarding their rights as owner participants to submit competing development proposals. Staff would follow redevelopment owner participation rules and notify the owners or tenants by certified mail regarding their right to submit competing proposals. Pursuant to those rules, they will be given a 30-day period to submit a written statement of intent to submit a proposal. Any interested owners would then be provided additional time to submit supporting information including site plans, proformas, experience, financial statements, etc. Any proposals received from owners, tenants would be evaluated against the proponent's to finalize a recommendation as to granting an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement.
